I think the term qualified personnel needs to be stricter to state they must pass a test on electrical knowledge and safety. This test should be required to be kept on hand, and retested every few years. Wright now we have people working on electrical equipment whop can barely use a meter. One put a ratchet and socket on live side of disconnect, and another was checking phase to phase for a mercury relay that was malfunctioning. He kept telling me and another electrician it was dead we kept testing phase to ground and getting 280V. This is because work requires almost nothing to work on electrical equipment, and even our electricians are not required to pass any test and few know NEC. So if NEC would change the definition of qualified personnel it would force places like mine to test people and help keep us all safer.
